If I had to compare Joel’s falling to something it’s like a newborn baby deer trying to stand for the first time during an oil spill. It makes me laugh every time:

What was your favorite highlight? Mine was when he stuck his sweaty ass in Cam Johnson’s face. Took me back to the Attitude Era for a second and reminded me of a Rikishi stink face:

A close second was the Nic Claxton play. He fell in slow motion. The damn restricted area tripped him or something.
How about this casual thinking this was a jab at Embiid! Every real basketball fan knows he practices falling. Give me more of these highlights! He’s the best at it. Like that one guy in Denver who tried to tell me kicked balls helps Jokic’s MVP case. I’m padding Jojo’s resume with his ability to fall so fluid and gracefully. If we are being somewhat honest, I could use less clutching at the knee. I saw the season flash before my eyes five times last night.
